Since what version do gcc/ld support -fPIE /-pie? I'm asking because we
at SUSE recently had to revert 596f51f "Replace -fstack-protector with
-fstack-protector-strong" because this parameter isn't supported in all
our gcc versions.

In a way, the recent Makefile patches call for autoconf or something of
the kind ...

Regards,
Martin
